The project which is worth VND 411.668 million aims to provide information on the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies, achievements of Vietnam’s renewal process, economic development, foreign affairs and international integration as well as projects calling for foreign investment.

It also aims to expand high-quality television and radio services on the Internet to make it more suitable to the country’s socio-economic conditions and the world’s latest information technology.

It covers all of the main areas and ensures that about one million people have daily access to the Internet broadcast system, which can simultaneously serve between 150,000 and 200,000 subscribers.

In addition, the system will ensure at least ten television channels and four radio channels to serve overseas Vietnamese.
